* constructor can pass network accessibility as default
* ping URL now constructed in global setup
* watchdog will prevent unnecessary signals by checking if state has really changed (there are redundant QAM signals for QNetworkAccessManager::networkAccessibleChanged)
* refactorings, thread checks
Previously the FSX/P3D driver tried to link a very specific SimConnect version
from the Windows Assembly cache. This caused issues with machines
which did not have this specific version of SimConnect in the assembly
cache since drivers refused to load without much information. Having a different
version of SimConnect in the assembly cache or even in the bin folder did
not help.
To fix this problem, SimConnect is now loaded and resolved manually at
runtime. This allows to try loading different versions from the assembly
cache or prefer to load the shipped one.
For this, the manifests are linked into the binary's resource section and
activated manually before loading. This has the positive effect, that
loading errors can be handled by code instead of raising a cryptic error and
aborting.
* Random number generation was faulty, as we have to use RAND_MAX and not INT_MAX
* fixed CTestAircraftSituation::testSetRotateUpPitch, we need to use a defined front function otherwise it can be randomly outside range
* adjusted performance unit test a bit, as the value vary a lot
Ref T261
* min/max ground distance, also added in situation list
* use model's vtol/CG info
* improved scenery deviation guessing
* adjusted interpolator scenery deviation handling
* return interpolation results parts/situation in one step
* base class init for each interpolation step, less redundant code
* removed old interpolation/parts function
* adjusted unit tests and simulator objects (such as SimObject)
* interpolators use providers for client/situations/parts/ground elevation
* interpolators do no longer use own situations/parts, but those from provider
* interpolators are no longer QObjects (as it is not needed)
* use gnd flag from situation for gnd interpolation, there is no longer a parts gnd flag interpolation
* guess parts during interpolation
* changed iterators to m_s[i] as it makes clearer which values are used
** the flag is transferred from parts -> situation in airspace monitor
** if the other client already provides and gnd.flag in situation this also works
* adjusted logging
* use providers in unit tests / adjusted tests
* improved situation verification/assert
* this implementation is used by airspace monitor
* also used by dummy provider (advantage, unit tests test the real provider)
* some functions adjusted
* no longer using the add parts/situations signals
* will use the remote aircraft provider parts directly
Result: all parts/situations are stored only once in memory and in one single place
general idea: by using the plane class, we can set a elevation and then find a better one
* use elevation plane in situation
* adjusted depending classes such as hints, lists
* using setGroundElevationChecked so elevation can be gradually improved
* Before this commit, only the true altitude was known for an aircraft situation. The pressure altitude was not available anywhere yet.
* This caused a wrong altitude in radar clients.
* We fix this reading the pressure altitude from the simulators and set it in the own aircraft situation.
* MS Flight Simulators have the pressure altitude in the APIs available.
* For X-Plane and emulated simulator, we need to calculate it from the pressure at sea level.
* Finally, we use the new available pressure altitude to send it to the FSD server.
Maniphest Tasks: Ref T223
* null/anonymous identifier
* CIdentifier can be linked with QObject and
* CIdentifier reflects name changes of QObject (UI components change name after ctor call)
